The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 323

Chapter 67 Eighth Champion (3)

4.

Facing an angry Albaric.

The warriors moved in perfect order according to Noah’s plan. Among them, the first to take action was Paladin Ian Marcus.

“Holy Ghost! “Guard your servant!”

A shield wrapped in pure divine power.

The moment Ian held out his shield to block Albaric, Ibella, who had fully recovered thanks to Laurea’s prayer, held on tightly to her sword.

“… … .”

Eyes sharpened like a hunter stalking his prey. Albaric, whether aware of this or not, let out a loud roar.

【I will crush you! You bastards!】

His ax flew in with terrifying force, like a shout that echoed throughout the hall. At the same time, the ax and shield clashed violently.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Loud binge drinking. Subsequently, a powerful shock wave generated by the collision swept through the surrounding area.

“Aaaah!”

“Tsk! What kind of wind… … !”

Wind pressure accompanied by cloudy dust.

The wind was so strong that it pushed Sirpi and Muak, who were quite far away from the battlefield, all the way back.

If it were this much of a shock, Ian would have been pushed into a corner like Ibella before. Sirpi looked beyond the dust with concern.

But the results were unexpected.

“… … !”

Sirpi and Muak opened their eyes wide.

Ian, who came into their field of vision, was only pushed back about five steps from where he first stood, but other than that, there was no other change.

Let’s go! Kagak!

Rather, Albaric’s ax was held up with a shield to prevent it from advancing any further. The desert warriors were also surprised by this sight.

“Um, you blocked that?”

“With a shield that small?”

That was surprising.

Ian’s shield was as small as a toy compared to Albaric’s axe.

Only they didn’t know.

In fact, Ian’s shield is not an ordinary shield, but the strongest shield belonging to one of the three sacred objects that the Holy Kingdom boasts of.

Moreover, Ian had currently gathered all his divine power and poured it into the shield according to Noah’s instructions. That’s why they were able to block Albaric’s offensive.

“Now!”

And at that moment, with Ian’s shout as a signal, Ibella, who had been waiting behind the shield, rushed out as fast as lightning.

She narrows down the area in no time.

Ibella, who had reached the nearest point before Albaric could even lift his axe, frantically poured out a barrage of golden sword strikes.

The area her sword is targeting is the left eye.

This is the place where the vital spot Noah mentioned is located.

Kwasik! Crack!

The metal eye patch covering his left eye was shattered by the fierce sword strike.

Then, did he realize the situation too late?

Albaric, who was busy pushing Ian, suddenly hurriedly twisted his posture. There is only one purpose. He was trying to block Bella’s sword attack.

【What nonsense!】

The ax changed direction in an instant in the air and aimed at Ibella, but was unable to hit her as originally intended.

Whoa! Huh!

This is because Ibella noticed the attack one step ahead of him and quickly escaped.

She easily avoided the attack and hid behind Ian’s shield again, and Albaric, who lost sight of Ibella, crumpled his face.

【What a rat!】

A roar poured out of Albaric’s mouth.

Meanwhile, Ian opened his eyes wide. This was because Ibella realized that she had avoided Albaric’s attack within his territory.

“What do you mean by dodging the attack just now?” … .”

“That’s right. “I went over the wall.”

“Haha, Ulan will be happy to know.”

Ian smiled happily at the fact that she had reached the level of master.

Ybella also nodded silently.

As Ian said just now, it was clear that Ulan would be happy and congratulate him.

‘But before that… … .’

There is something I need to do first.

Defeating Albaric in front of you. I wanted to prove that I was worthy to stand by Ulan’s side by subduing the Giant King’s family with other warriors.

At the time when Ibella’s eyes were burning brightly.

Albaric’s behavior suddenly changed.

【It’s a hassle, so I’ll just get rid of it all at once!】

The guy holding an ax and a shield in each hand started hitting the ground like crazy.

The ground shaking with a pounding sound.

When the warriors were puzzled by the unexpected action, the color suddenly drained from Perticia’s face.

“… … what? “Is that true?”

Perticia asks the sky.

The reason she was so surprised was because of the words the earth spirit had just whispered. Afterwards, Perticia relayed to her companions what they had just heard.

“Uh, we have to stop it quickly! “The ground may collapse soon!”

“… … !?”

Albaric’s goal was simple.

After collapsing the ground with tremendous force, they want to take advantage of the warriors losing their balance and staggering around and attack them all at once.

It was truly an ignorant tactic that only the giants could come up with.

‘It’s a little earlier than the original plan, but… … !’

Still, there was no time to delay.

Noah scattered the amulets in the air with a stiff expression on his face. Then he quickly chanted the technique he had prepared.

[alarm]

*Shortcut skill 21, activated

*Advanced spell: 【Binding part (束縛符)】

―Use the magical spirit contained in the talisman to bind a specific target.

Amulets that turn to ashes in an instant.

After some time, an intangible chain came out from where the amulet disappeared and wrapped itself around Albaric’s arms and legs.

Sigh! Whilick! Clap!

Albaric temporarily stopped acting.

The group kicked the ground in unison.

Albaric frowned at the sight of the warriors running toward him.

【under! It’s just a little trick!】

Albaric snorted and used all his strength to break the chain. However, Delia’s magic poured out, taking advantage of the gap created by that.

Strategic magic, extreme new star.

That’s not all. The divine strike that Laurea was preparing also struck Albaric.

【This doesn’t work for me!】

Despite the furious attack, Albaric steadfastly resisted, swinging his axe.

However, perhaps because I was too distracted by the magic, there was something I didn’t notice. There is a shadow approaching him at high speed.

It was Sven Isaac, the hunter.

Sven, who successfully approached Albarik, immediately poured out all the arrows he had loaded in advance, just as Noah had instructed.

Parbat! Babababababaak!

Arrows pouring down like heavy rain through magic.

It was a converting blow that gave territory to each one. However, Albaric was not embarrassed by the sudden attack and raised his shield.

【Did you know that arrows would hit me!】

Right after completely blocking all arrows.

Albaric shouted as if it were ridiculous. But in this process, he made a mistake.

They didn’t immediately check Sven’s location.

The mistake he made was thinking that he would naturally retreat after shooting the arrow.

【───?!】

Albaric’s eyes widened.

This was because Sven, who thought he had retreated, climbed up his body like a squirrel climbing a tree.

【This bug—!】

At the unexpected sight, Albaric hurriedly tried to grab Sven. However, Sven arrived at his destination much earlier than that.

Sven’s destination is the top of Albaric’s head.

Sven stepped on the smooth scalp and fell down with a natural somersault.

And in the process, he aimed his bow at Albaric’s left eye, whose eyepatch was broken.

“If this happens, there will be no escape.”

There was no time to avoid it in the first place.

With the hunter’s territory spread out, the arrow granted the territory flew. And just as Sven had intended, it hit Albarik in the eyeball.

【Kwaaaaaaaa!】

At that moment, Albaric collapsed, clutching his left eye. It’s so easy to believe that he was a warrior who had just been fighting all kinds of magic.

At a time when a scream of terrible pain rang out, the group, including Noah, immediately kicked off the ground and ran.

The purpose was to subdue Albaric, who was in a groggy state, and crush his head. But suddenly I heard the sound of my footsteps stopping.

“Wait! “You can’t get close!”

“what?”

“What do you mean all of a sudden?”

“Something is coming. “He is a very dark, sinister, and extremely dangerous being!”

The identity of the voice is none other than Perticia.

She blocked the way, her face turning quite pale. She was about to ask back because she couldn’t understand what he was saying.

“Hey, look over there!”

Perticia pointed to Albaric.

The other group members then reflexively turned their gazes, and soon each of them opened their eyes wide, without anyone taking the lead.

“… … !?”

A scene unfolding before the eyes of the group.

It was pitch-black darkness rising from Albaric’s shadow. The darkness quickly took the shape of numerous hands and enveloped Albarik.

The moment this was confirmed, Sven, who was relatively close, also hurriedly stepped back.

Just by looking at it, my instincts gave me a warning. I don’t know what that thing is, but you should never approach it too hastily.

“What is that… … .”

In particular, the faces of Ian and Laurea, who possessed divine power, were more rigid than those of their other colleagues.

At that time, Delia looked back at Noah.

“Do you know what that thing is?”

“that… … .”

However, Noah could not answer.

It was natural. Because it was her first time seeing it too.

Then, a memory suddenly crossed my mind. These are the words delivered by Ulan, who helped Perticia through her ordeal and entered the abyss.

“Beyond the abyss, there exists a new enemy that I have not seen in my past life. “It was a monster that had the shape of countless palms.”

A monster in the shape of countless palms.

This appearance was similar to the unknown darkness that currently enveloped Albaric’s body. Noah, who remembered this, muttered with his eyes wide open.

“The new enemy you mentioned back then… … .”

Are you referring to that?

The moment when such a guess suddenly occurred to me.

“Everyone step aside! “I’ll cut it!”

Ian took a step forward.

Soon, a blinding white aura of light emanated from the sword he was holding, and soon began to grow to a length of about ten meters.

‘Seonghwi’s one sword.’

The unique ability of the holy sword Cadaron.

A divine blade created by pouring out an enormous amount of divine power. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the ultimate sword strike possessed by Paladin Ian.

‘However, Seonghwiilgeom cannot be overused.’

As most of the divine power is consumed, once used, physical strength and mental power are on the verge of depletion.

Nevertheless, the fact that he was using it must have meant that he judged those black hands to be a threat.

“Holy Ghost! Condemn evil!”

A divine sword falling towards Albaric.

But at that moment, the hands that were wrapping around Albaric wrapped around Seonghwiil Sword. Then something unexpected happened.

“… … !?”

“Seo, Seonghwi Ilgeom… … !”

Auras were scattered in the air.

The conversion blow that Ian delivered disappeared so easily and in vain. And to make matters worse, Albaric took advantage of this to complete his recovery.

【Guhuhuh―.】

Albaric stumbles, holding his left eye.

After a while, he stood up, still entangled in countless hands, and grinned.

【Hehehe! Hahahaha!】

A wild laughter soon disperses in the air.

Black magical power flowed steadily from Albaric’s left eye. A magical power that makes you feel uncomfortable just by looking at it.

It was the magic power of the abyss.

【Praise! The great King of the Desert has given me the power of the abyss! Now I can once again carry out the king’s orders.】

The momentum has clearly changed since the beginning.

A moment later, Albaric immediately kicked the ground without any signal. When he finally reappeared, the first person he targeted was Ian.

“… … !”

Ian, who realized this too late, hurriedly poured out his remaining divine power and raised his shield. And soon a fierce collision ensued.

Quagga-ga-ga-ga! Quaaaang!

A vibration accompanied by a loud roar.

However, there was something different from before.

“Ugh!”

“Hey, Ian!?”

The fact that Albaric’s axe could not be blocked.

As a result, Ian was thrown into a corner like a doll whose strings had been cut, and the group called out Ian’s name with surprised faces.

‘It’s become so strong… … !’

Even though it is different from the original, it is very different.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is almost on par with Largtan. But he couldn’t just react in surprise.

【You’re next!】

Albaric’s next target is Ibella.

Angry axes rained down like they were splitting a mountain towards her, who had been hiding behind Ian’s shield all along.

But at that moment, reinforcements appeared.

A fire lit between Ibella and Albaric.

[Caw!]

It was a strange bird, one of Ludrick’s descendants.

The monster regained its magic power by taking advantage of the time provided by Noah and his group, and soon began a counterattack, scattering red-hot flames.

The poisonous snake that joined in afterwards bit Albaric’s ankle mercilessly, and thanks to this, the relentless attack faltered for a moment.

【OK! I’ll get rid of you guys first!】

Are you irritated by the repeated harassment?

Albaric crumpled his face and swung his axe. But he couldn’t cut the monster’s body apart.

Quack! Crack!

This is because my arms suddenly became heavy along with the pain of my teeth digging into my flesh. Afterwards, what appeared in Albaric’s sight was a huge wolf with white fur.

[Grrr!]

It was a white wolf.

Meanwhile, Noah, who was watching this scene from afar, also widened his eyes.

At the time of joining the other warriors, when asked about Ulan’s whereabouts, Laurea answered as follows.

Ulan disappeared along with the white wolf.

‘The appearance of a white tiger… … !’

It comes down to only one conclusion.

Just as Noah’s eyes were getting bigger, Albaric, who had pushed the white wolf away, went into attack mode again.

【It won’t hurt to chew this—─!】

The guy’s eyes seemed half-covered as he tried to attack Ludric’s subordinates again.

But at that moment.

A flash of red flew through the darkness and struck Albaric’s body.

Quagga-ga-ga-ga! bang! Quaaaang!

The one who flew away making a loud noise was none other than Albarik. The massive body, probably six times the size of an adult, was thrown into a corner, scratching the floor.

Some time after that.

As the dust created by the collision disappeared, a familiar voice was heard from the center of the battlefield.

“Sorry for late.”

“… … !”

“I’ll take charge from now on. “I’ve dealt with giants so much in my past life that I’m sick of them.”

Reddish-brown hair tied back.

Bright red eyes that burn brightly as if filled with fire. Noah shouted as if he had been waiting for the appearance of a muscular man armed with double axes.

“Ulan!”

Giant slayer.

Red-eyed barbarians joined the battlefield.
